Hasbro, Paramount, and Steve Aoki owned Dim Mak is collaborating on a new line of fashion collection based on Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

This film in particular speaks to Aoki, who grew up an ‘80s/’90s baby of Japanese heritage; seeing Snake Eyes kick ass on G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero made the character an instant icon in Aoki’s eyes. “I loved watching how Snake Eyes was the secret weapon to the G.I. JOE team when I was young,” Aoki explains. “He would swoop in and save the day with just his sword and ninja skills. I always wondered what his backstory was. When this opportunity arose to partner with Hasbro and Paramount on the origin story of Snake Eyes, I was amped on getting to know how my favorite super-soldier became so incredible. I am looking forward to watching the movie and seeing how Snake Eyes is trained by the Arashikage in Japan.”

You can check out the full collection at Dim Mak official website.

Australian Film Classification has rated the streaming version of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie.

To those who are well versed in Australian Film Classification, this rating will come across as an oddity:

For any usual film release, the Theatrical version (marked as DCP – Digital Cinema Package) is first rated. Later, when the Streaming or Bluray release is rated, they are marked as Online and Digital Video respectively. As an example, we bring you the recent Mortal Kombat movie which was first rated as a DCP (Theatrical) followed later by Online (Streaming and VOD).

Snake Eyes movie, however, does not contain a DCP rating. Instead, it only straightaway contains a rating marked as Online, which is the Media Type denotation for Streaming content.

But, we do know that Snake Eyes is set to release in Australia as a theatrical movie. Therefore, this odd classification comes as a surprise for us since it is marked as a July 22nd release.

Speaking of streaming, it is likely that the fans will get to see Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins on Paramount+ by September 6th due to the platform’s 45-day delay between the theatrical window and the streaming release. However, it may even be delayed up to 90-days or more. While Paramount-owned movies such as A Quiet Place: Part II received this 45-Day initiative, licensed movies such as G.I. Joe and Transformers may receive a different streaming release window.

Joe Origins from Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, and Skydance.”

You can check out the images, after the jump. We are issuing a Spoiler Warning for those who are sensitive to even the tiniest information.

Speaking to Swiss entertainment site Kinowetter, actor Henry Golding states that Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins is a reboot of the G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise.

“This is going to be a stepping stone into the entire universe. The two fantastic movies that came before it: we’re definitely wiping the slate clean, starting over again, introducing all of these characters starting with Snake Eyes. So, we see the journey of a man becoming the great operator and the G.I. Joe that we all love; which is Snake Eyes.”

Regarding director Robert Schwentke:

“He’s amazing. He’s a true cinephile and his knowledge and historical understanding of movie-making is beyond anybody that I’ve ever worked with. He’s heavily inspired by the Japanese greats, especially for this movie, including [Akira] Kurosawa, including a lot of these movies that came out way back. So, for us to be able to be out there in Japan, physically, filming on these locations that some of these historical movies have been made on, was just absolutely amazing. It was mind-blowing.”
